RECYCLED & RECYCLABLE
Products from green frog designs are made, wherever possible, from materials that are recycled. Where this is not practical, we always try to use materials that
are suitable for recycling.
Our plastic is made from recycled industrial waste plastic. By choosing our products, rather than those made from virgin plastic, you are helping to restrict the
amount of new plastic being made. We recycle all our waste plastic (our Pi Clips are made from our own waste) and, of course, our products themselves can be
recycled (if they ever wear out!!).
The recycled plastic we use is quite tough, but is as easily worked as wood. There is no need for preservative treatment with insecticides or fungicides, and struc-
tures won’t splinter or crack, so they retain their structural integrity well. The plastic is resistant to UV light, so it retains its colour, and is pretty much impervious to
atmospheric pollutants and seasonal climatic actions such as freeze–thaw. It insulates quite well, and is also resistant to chewing. These properties mean that it
retains its appearance, colour and functionality for much longer than timber.
The sheets of recycled plastic have a very uniform thickness, and so are ideally suited to our high-technology manufacturing process, which uses computer-
controlled machines to cut shapes to accuracies better than 0.1mm.
We do use some metal components to fix a few parts together. The metals used are either stainless steel or other rust-resistant alloy, so they have a very long
lifetime, and they are also suitable for recycling.
Our packaging and literature is all made from recycled materials wherever possible. For example, assembly instructions are printed on recycled paper. Even our
business cards are made from 80% recycled card.
In other words: Fun, functional products that don't cost the Earth!
HOW TO FIT A LINCH PIN (IF USED)
You only need to lift the ring slightly up from the bar. Linch Pins are designed to spring closed, so watch your fingers!
